Preliminary estimations of a possibility of creation of inductive current source with power 10/sup 12/ W for a large plasma focus device with energy /spl sim/100 MJ

Summary form only given. One of the problems in the creation of a high-power impulse neutron source based on a multi-megajoule plasma focus facility, consists of the development of a pulse supply system with currents in tens of MA and digit potency 10/sup 12/ W. We have offered a new concept of a magnetic accumulator with the inductive cascade for power amplification for the solution of this problem. A technique for the optimization of the power supply system is offered. The possibility of using the inductive storage system TIN-900, included in installation TSP (TRINITI, Russia), for the feed of a plasma focus device with energy in a plasma sheet up to 100 M/sub TDK/ is shown. Separate problems of construction of a similar inductive current source with output power >10/sup 12/ W are considered which are connected to the effective transmission of magnetic configurations of large storage coils.
